Gabbing Geek Reviews: The Martian [Spoiler-Free]

The Martian hit theaters this week, and we couldn’t be more excited here at Gabbing Geek. For those of you that didn’t listen to our book review of Andy Weir’s  New York Time’s best seller, here is a quick synopsis:

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew (Jessica Chastain, Michael Pena, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, & Aksel Hennie). But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet with only the NASA crew (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Sean Bean & Donald Glover) as his source of communication.

Does director Ridley Scott do The Martian justice? Or is this just another failed mission to Mars? Find out what the geeks think after the break:

Matt Damon Would Approve of This Martian Thumbs Up

 

We’re pretty sure that Matt Damon himself would approve of this awesome fan art by RHADS. If you haven’t read The Martian yet – stop what you’re doing, and pick up the book. I mean it. Just stop everything and go read it. Thank me later.

Be sure to check out RHADS other works of art – they are truly stunning!
